Everton U23s trounced at Brighton this evening
Brighton U23s 4 - 2 Everton U23s
Everton U23s were trounced by Brighton & Hove Albion at The Amex Elite Football Performance Centre this evening.
Kyle John, Tyler Onyango and Reece Welch were absentees, suggesting they might be in the squad for Wolves on Sunday.
The home side went ahead with Everton trying to play out from the back, losing possession, and a ball in was half-cleared by Anderson smacking off Price and past Crellin into the Everton net.
But Everton got back into the game when Price saw a chance and played the ball forward to Dobbin who finished crisply into the corner.

But Everton came back with a good solo goal from Dobbinm a great run down the left before he cooly slotted it across the keeper into the corner of the goal to make it 1-1 at the break.
A poor challenge by Astley sandwiched an attacker between him and Kristensen, with the ref calling a penalty that was polled past Crellin.
A few minutes later and Brighton were 3-1 ahead when Crellin was well beaten on a decent free-kick.
The fourth goal for Brighton showed up Crellin's poor judgement, coming out for a long ball hoofed up from the back but he completely missed it and allowed the Brighton man to roll run past him and roll the ball into an empty net.
But Astley spoilt any late revival, diving in and getting a straight red, although there seemed to be limited contact.
Everton U23s: Crellin, Quirk, Hunt [Y:68'], Kristensen (61' Metcalfe), Astley [Y:49';R:86'], Anderson, Mills (87' Jones), Butterfield [Y:13'] (46' Hughes), Cannon, Price, Dobbin.
Subs not Used: Leban, Hagan.

On the basis of BHA’s 4th, looks like our U23 defenders have been modelling themselves on Keane & Holgate.
Dobbin looked good and took his goal well.
Our U23s were far more successful a few seasons back with Niasse up front and a few over 30s in the side. Hopefully our new DoF will stop playing youngsters and bring back the glory days.

Thanks a bunch, Brent – that was a another fine bleedin' mess you got me into!!

LMAO lets get James McCarthy back in there, Harry Charsley too.

It looked like they could possibly be dangerous on the counter but that crap call for the penalty was their undoing. Never recovered from after that.

I only watched from about 30 minutes on but while conceding possession there were some moments going forward. After the penalty, all the changes kept them from pulling it back together I think. Astley may have prompted the bad penalty call by diving in but the Brighton player was shielded from the ball by the other defender, it really looked like a bad call.

Plainly all things U23 are well at Finch Farm ( formerly USM Finch Farm).

No shame in losing to this Brighton side, who have several very highly-rated youngsters - in particular Sarmiento, Caicedo (who we were also trying to sign when he signed for Brighton), and Jack Spong, who caught the eye again, just like he did when we beat them 2-1 at the end of November. Today I really thought Caicedo was hugely impressive, full of driving runs and neat touches - exactly what we could do with in the first team.
Two excellent individual goals from Lewis Dobbin; his pace and direct running is surely going to get him first-team chances over the next 18 months, and maybe a few in the next 2 and a half months too.
Anyone know why Butterfield was substituted at half-time?

Well run club.
Do we know what Thelwell's role is in relation to the academy?

It's time to be thinking about next season and move up some of the U18s.
I'm not sure where the shouts for Kyle John and the first team have come from, he's most likely injured, certainly not one to be around a relegation battle.

And make that BHA 1-1 Everton. Dobbin from the right part of the D on a turnover and pass from Price, I think.
